I just watched a movie today with Joe Strummer playing an English Elvis look-a-like. Is this THE Joe Strummer? Has anyone else seen this movie? It was called "Mystery Train" - (circa 1989). There was some cool music like Tom Waits and Roy Orbison (sp?). It is kind of an art film, and there are some symbolisms that I have yet to sort out. I should warn you however that I am the kind of person who likes to watch weird, quirky stuff anyway and this is one of them. I just thought is was cool and wondered if any of you punk rock lovers have seen it.
saw it on ifc...thats a pretty cool movie..kinda pulp fiction before pulp fiction....three short stories all liked together.those japanese kids are cool too.
I believe indeed it was. Joe after the Clash did a variety of artistic endeavors as such that movie .... I broke down and put my 101er's on MP3 a few weeks ago, good drivin music.
Man that Japanese dude worked that Zippo like a fruggin magician. Totally rad moves. I wonder if he is in on the Japanese Hot-Rod scene.......Jap Rods rule and I am being serious.
Strummer's also in Straight To Hell , directed by Alex Cox whom you know and love for Repo Man and Sid and Nancy.
Jesus I havent seen that move in a while...I am gonna dig it out of my VHS tapes and watch it tonight... RIP JOE....
Is "straight to hell" worth seeing? I kind of have a love/hate relationship with those other two you mentioned.
JEEM...you have EVERY reason in the world to hate 'em! That Nasal "SIIIIIIIIIIDDDDD"..... See Mysery Train for Screamin' Jay OOOWWWWBBBOOOGAWAAAMMUMMMBLLEEEEYYEEAHHHH Hawkins.....Its worth it.... Love, S.Jay's 66th kid
All of Jim Jarmusch's films are worth seeing, including Night On Earth simply for Roberto Begnini's part, and especially "Dead Man" and "Ghost Dog". Both killer films! Down By Law Starnger Than Paradise etc.
Oh yeah Courtney Love's in 'Straight to Hell." That's a truly bad movie, but Elvis Costello's great in it. I kinda dug the motorcycle washing scene though, that'll get a dude pronged up good.
Actually germ, The Delusionaires are real fucking Punk Rockers. It's our 4th anniversary party/gig tonight. The wife's making us a cake with two big knockers on them. Go here www.delusionaires.com this is shameless self promotion, but we'll out rock anybody out there, and this is no idle boast. Even if our collective age is like 150 years. And we ain't gonna get into collective weight. www.de

yeah "lost angles" was better then "roadside prophets" anyday. but "mysterey train" is one of my favorite movies next to Merideth Lucas's "blood orgy of the leather girls" and Shaw/ Reed's "Charm" both written and directed by confirmed "punkers"....Lucas's film even has the pleasure seekers on the soundtrack. Ghost Dog had the best soundtrack of Jarmush films because of a) Delroy Wilson......"no.....no...no....you don't love me yes i know..." b) Junior Murvin "police and theves"

Go to the website 'ol scratch, and you can download snippets, if they're working that is. We played a live gig on WPRK (Rollins College) on Wednesday night. They don't let you bring likker or beer in the studio, so we hid a cooler in the bushes. And I have a flask disguised as a radio that comes in handy for clandestine misbehavior. The sound, sub lo fi that it is, doesn't capture our essence. Live is where one gets the true Delusionaires spirit. It makes girls take their clothes off. If I wasn't married I could have my way with several chicks a night, but I try to be a good boy. But the things that go on inside my head will have to be reserved for the afterlife. I'm coming back as germ.
Yes Nads..that's all WELL and FINE...but it's a shame I can't enjoy your music since ya NEVER sent me that coveted Delusionaires disc..... VOODOO would have done it for me,I believe....
